Emmy Awards 2025 live updates: Adolescence star Owen Cooper makes history as youngest supporting award winner

Owen Cooper had one for the history books after he won outstanding supporting actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for his dark drama Adolescence at just 15 years old.

Astonishingly, the award-winning performance marked his screen debut.

He played a teen accused of brutally murdering one of his classmates in the limited series, which was co-created by Stephen Graham, who played his father in the show.

‘Honestly, when I started these drama classes a couple years back, I didn’t expect to be even in the United States, never mind here,’ Cooper said in shock.

She’s been an in-demand actress for years, but Cristin Milioti notched her biggest success to date when she won lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie.

She starred opposite Colin Farrell, who was covered in prosthetics, in The Penguin.

The unrecognizable Farrell played the eponymous Batman villain, while Milioti played the rising mob boss Sofia Gigante.

‘Sorry, I wrote this on the back of notes I took in therapy the other day, so don’t look at the back,’ she joked at the start of her speech.

Adolescence star Erin Doherty followed up Owen Cooper’s history-making win with her own victory in the supporting actress in a limited or anthology series or movie.

It was her first nomination and win.

Saturday Night Live scored a major award for oustanding live variety series despite its cast being decimated in recent weeks.

SNL alumna Tina Fey presented the award and joked that people would wonder if she just annonced her old show out of habit.

The iconic sketch comedy series won for its 50th anniversary special, even though it competed against itself with its Homecoming special.

Lorne Michaels, the SNL creator who first announced major firings were ahead, accepted the award.

Heidi Garnder, Devon Walker, Michael Longfellow and Emil Wakim were all announced to be leaving the show ahead of season 51.

John Oliver managed to get through his speech for oustanding scripted variety series in around 15 seconds, but he was still censored twice on the live broadcast on CBS.

The former Daily Show star won the award for his news-comedy series Last Week Tonight on HBO.

On social media, fans were begging someone in the audience to tell them what the comedian had said that warranted the double censorship.

One fan claimed he said, ‘F*** you Nate Bargatze, that is a lot of money for you – and you can add a f*** to the swear jar as well.’

After his speech, Oliver kept things moving along by literally running of the stage.

Walton Goggins tried steered clear of controversy when he presented outstanding directing for a comedy series with his White Lotus costar Parker Posey.

The two avoided any hint of the controversy that swarmed Goggins over his bizarre online behavior toward his on-screen love interest Aimee Lou Wood.

He and Posey joked about wanting to go back to Thailand, where the show was filmed, for the Thai food.

Amid the flurry of camera flashes, Nadia leaned toward her husband for a kiss but was met with a ‘reluctant’ response from her spouse, who pecked her very briefly before turning back to the crowd of photographers.

Jeff Hiller won his first Emmy and beat a murderers’ row of talent when he won the award for support actor in a comedy.

Hiller was competing against a stacked set of stars including Ike Barinholtz (The Studio), Colman Domingo (The Four Seasons), Harrison Ford (Shrinking), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear), Michael Urie (Shrinking) and SNL star Bowen Yang.

Hiller joked, ‘I feel like I’m going to cry, because for the past 25 years I have been like, “World, I want to be an actor!” And the world was like, “Maybe computers?”‘

He shared his gushing thanks for his costar Bridget Everett and his husband.

Reba McEntire paid tribute to the iconic series The Golden Girls with a musical number at the Emmys

The country music superstar was joined by Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild and Kimberly Schlapman as they sang the show’s theme song, Thank You For Being A Friend.

They performed in a kitchen set similar to the classic sitcom’s original design.

Hannah Einbinder scored her first win after three previous loss for Hacks, and she used the opportunity to sneak in a political message about the Israel-Gaza conflict.

At the very end of her speech, Einbinder added: ‘Finally, I just want to say go birds and free Palestine. Thank you.’

She stars on Hacks as a struggling comedian who takes a job writing jokes for a famous stand-up who has seen better days (Jean Smart).

Einbinder wasn’t the only star to share her support for Palestinians under assault in Gaza, as Javier Bardem previously called for ‘Israel to stop this genocide.’

Einbinder’s comment on the broadcast was briefly marred after the Emmys technical team censored her just before her pro-Palestine slogan.

The Pitt started on a strong foot when it won an early Emmy on Sunday.

She pumped the statuette in the air and raised her arms in triumphant to celebrate her win.

Jean Smart continued to be the queen of the lead actress in a comedy series category when she won once again for her role on Hacks.

This marks the fourth time Smart has captured the Emmy, even as he costar Hannah Einbinder has never managed to win for the acclaimed HBO series.

But Jean set off concern as she limped across the stage to get to the microphone.

‘If I was walking like John Wayne, it’s because I broke my knee this summer and it’s not quite repaired,’ she explained.

Seth Rogen kicked off the Emmy wins with a statuette for lead actor in a comedy series.

He stars in Apple TV+’s The Studio, a satire about executives struggling to revive a struggling Hollywood studio.

‘I’ve never won anything in my life,’ Rogen said in shock as he came up to get his award

Jennifer Coolidge had the audience in stitches when she presented the Emmy for lead actress in a comedy series.

The Legally Blonde star joked that winning her own Emmy for The White Lotus ruined her relationship with her costars because they ‘removed me from the group chat’ afterward.

‘We were all supposed to go on a trip to ibiza. I found out I wasn’t included, and the only reason I knew that was because Elizabeth debicki and I have the same ozempic dealer,’ she joked.

‘Now that I think about it, winning the Emmy might have been the worst thing to ever happen to me,’ Coolidge said without bothering to think of a segue before presenting the award, which once again went to Jean Smart for Hacks.

The comic was joined by Saturday Night Live stars James Austen Johnson, Bowen Yang and Mikey Day.

Bargatze played television inventor Phil T. Farnsworth, but he imagined today’s fractured streaming ecosystem.

Javier Bardem put politics front and center when he hit the Emmys red carpet.

The Spanish actor showed his support for Palestinian civilians by wearing a keffiyeh and calling for ‘Israel to stop this genocide.’

Instead of answering questions about his nominated show Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story, he spoke on Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

‘At the end of August, the IAGS, the International Association of Genocide Scholars who studied thoroughly the concept of genocide, called what is going on in Gaza today a genocide. And that’s why we ask for the commercial and diplomatic blockade and the sanctions on Israel to stop this genocide. Free Palestine,’ he declared.

Harrison Ford seemed to be in high spirits when he arrived at the Emmys red carpet with his wife Calista Flockhart.

He has numerous iconic films behind him, but this year marks the first time Ford has ever been nominated for an Emmy Award.

He’s competing for his role on Apple TV+’s Shrinking as a senior therapist struggling with Parkinson’s disease.

Jenna Ortega had all eyes on her when she hit the 77th Emmys red carpet in a shockingly revealing outfit.

The 22-year-old Wednesday star left little to the imagination in a look inspired by iconic beauty Isabella Rossellini’s risqué costume from Death Becomes Her (1992).

She sizzled in a top made of enormous jewels that barely covered her up, and she paried it with a black skirt with a sky-high slit.

Walton Goggins and his wife Nadia Conners showed they were on the same page when they arrived at the 77th Emmy Awards red carpet with a passionate kiss.

The sweet display comes after the White Lotus star addressed his relationship with costar Aimee Lou Wood.

But Walton and Nadia made themselves the stars of the show and proved their relationship was still strong by locking lips as they made a grand entrance.
